I've written numerous posts about the hypocrisy of the Kennedy family, from Teddy on down, regarding their opposition to the Cape Wind project off of Cape Cod. After the Gores, the Kennedys are the preeminent environmental family in the nation. Wind is not the perfect energy source, but it is clean, and Cape Wind will supplement New England's stressed power grid.
But the Kennedys don't want their ocean views altered, nor do they want their yachting playground disrupted. Poor babies.
National Review Online's Jim Geraghty revisits the controversy, and wonders if the Obama administration will overrule the Kennedys, or if it will side the Gov. Deval Patrick, who favors it.
